BYU soccer: early deficit too much as BYU falls 2-1 to San Diego

BYU women's soccer fell early and couldn't come back in a 2-1 loss against San Diego on Friday night at South Field.

"I thought we had a lot of good looks," BYU head coach Jennifer Rockwood said. "I'm really pleased with the way we played. This team has battled. We're resilient, and we'll bounce back."

For the Cougars (3-5-3, 0-1), it was the first home loss in a West Coast Conference game since 2011. That defeat also came against the Toreros (3-8, 1-0), who hadn't beaten BYU since until Friday.

San Diego scored in the fifth minute when Kelsi Dantu headed Tara Meier's corner kick.
